MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
THE ENGLISH DEAD AT SEVASTOPOL. 
BT MART J. CRORMAN. 
“Wanderer, tell England thou hast seen us slain, obe¬ 
dient to her laws.”—-Louis Kossuth. 
Sadness her pall o’er hearts hath spread. 
On Albion’s distant shore, 
Fond hope with broken wing lies dead, 
Whore rests life’s weary oar, 
In sackcloth garb, sits weeping love, 
Waiting the summons from above. 
Immortal lustre wreaths their names, 
Who fell on foreign soil ; 
Theirs were not false and oarth-llke alms 
Luring to strife and toil : 
Their beacon-star was England’s weal, 
Her good inspired their glorious zeal. 
Ye god-like brave ! proud history’s page 
Your prowess shall proclaim ; 
Nor lose those acts rom age to age, 
Of earth-immortal name. 
And pilgrim patriots at such shrine, 
Admiringly, their crowns resign. 
For Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
THE MIDNIGHT VISIT; 
OR THE DOCTOR’S DREAM: 
It was one of those sunny days of mid¬ 
winter which we scarcely know whether to 
welcome as after-smiles of summer or promises 
of spring—“ last roses” or the swelling buds 
of a new blossoming—the sweet notes of some 
dear, lingering songster bidding us a regretful 
adieu, or the faint, far-off warble of the re¬ 
turning choir. The bland air and rich sun¬ 
shine tempt abroad even many of those who 
regularly burrow up on the approach of win¬ 
ter, and need some strong incitement of duty, 
pleasure or necessity to lure them from their 
retreats during the season of frost. The snow 
gradually disappearing under the genial rays 
of the sun, perhaps suggests to the thought¬ 
ful passer the pleasing, melancholy reflection 
of its likeness to the fading away of man from 
earth. But the night presents a sharp con¬ 
trast to the warmth and dazzling beauty of 
the day ; for the evening closed in threatening¬ 
ly, and now, at eleven o’clock, a fierce storm 
rages in the almost deserted streets. It is a 
time that cannot fail to awaken in the com¬ 
passionate heart sympathy for the poor, desti¬ 
tute, homeless wanderers of earth, and teach 
us the value of our own household cheer ; for 
if we ever know how to prize a good roof for 
our heads and a comfortable bed on which to 
rest, it is on a cold, windy night in winter, 
and then, too, if ever, can we feel for the sor¬ 
rows and miseries of the shelterless. 
Doctor II-sat quietly musing alone by 
his fireside in one of the inland cities of New 
York, in a retired part of the town, quite in 
the country. He had performed his, when at 
home, accustomed task of covering with min¬ 
gled coals and ashes the brands designed to 
kindle the fire on the following morning, and, 
having extinguished the lights, dropped into 
his high-backed arm chair, his feet resting on 
the comfortable hearth, and remained gazing 
steadily into the innumerable bright eyes that 
looked out from the glowing heap before him. 
It was habitual with the good doctor thus to 
spend some moments, not unfrequently the 
time was prolonged to hours, brooding over 
the old-fashioned fire-place, of a winter eve¬ 
ning, after all but himself had retired to rest, 
indulging in reverie,—day-dreaming perhaps 
I should call it, the pleasantest kind of dream¬ 
ing, reader, that allows you to choose the 
subject on which your busy brain may go ro¬ 
mancing and shape its course according to 
your own fancy. This darkened solitude was 
particularly grateful after the fatigue and ex¬ 
citement of a day passed in professional toil, 
and the doctor welcomed it as a more com¬ 
plete seclusion than he could enjoy when day¬ 
light was around him, or when artificial light 
enabled him to see surrounding objects though 
no living presence was near. 
Whatever direction the doctor’s thoughts 
may have taken on this particular occasion, 
his cogitations were disturbed by a rap at the 
street door, on opening which a boy, scarcely 
visible through the storm and darkness, in¬ 
quired, 
“ Does Doctor II-live here ?” 
“ That is my name,” replied the Doctor. 
“ A sick man at No. 20,-street, wishes 
to see you immediately.” 
No time was wasted in words ; the doctor 
put on his hat and overcoat, which were al¬ 
ways in the hall ready for use, and drawing 
from under the table his bag of medicines, and 
arming himself with an umbrella, set out with 
the boy for the home of his new patron. A 
laborious walk of twenty minutes brought 
them to the house. In answer to the doctor’s 
summons for admittance the door was opened 
by a little girl, who, with noiseless step, show¬ 
ed him up stairs and into the room where the 
sick man lay. A hasty survey of the apart¬ 
ment, which, though far from luxurious, was 
yet neatly and comfortably furnished, and 
even borrowed an appearance of elegance, 
from the tasteful arrangement of a few paint¬ 
ings and other articles of beauty rather than 
what is strictly termed utility, satisfied the 
kind-hearted physician that this demand on 
his services was not occasioned by want and 
consequent suffering, as had lately too often 
been his unhappy experience, and be advanced 
to the bedside and in a voice that needed 
nothing of ait to convey an impression of 
kindness and benevolent interest, inquired into 
the nature of the invalid’s ailment. A wo¬ 
man, of perhaps thirty-five years, standing by 
the couch, endeavored to quiet the sufferer, 
and now and then turning aside to dash away 
the tears that would force themselves into her 
eyes, replied with an accent that indicated her 
Italian origin ; and from her answers and his 
own examination of the sick man, the doctor 
learned that it was a case of severe nervous 
derangement, caused probably by over-work 
in his profession, which was that of an artist. 
Having prepared and administered a compos¬ 
ing draught designed to afford temporary re¬ 
lief, Doctor II-soon had the satisfaction 
of seeing his charge sink into a refreshing 
sleep, and, in compliance with the lady’s re¬ 
quest, he sat down to hear more particularly 
of his patient’s symptoms, and devise means of 
remedy. From professional, the conversation 
gradually liecame personal ; the curiosity phy¬ 
sicians no less than others have to know some¬ 
thing of the history of whose acquaintance 
they make either by chance or in a business 
capacity, prompted the doctor to make some 
inquiries of the lady concerning the length of 
their residence in the country, the part of Ita¬ 
ly whence they came, whether their adopted 
home satisfied their expectations of it, <£c.,&c., 
and the naturally communicative was led on 
to relate, with the frankness and freedom char¬ 
acteristic of the women of her nation, the fol¬ 
lowing brief, simple story of their past life : 
Angelo Bebtini and Luigia - were 
born under the delicious skies of Italy, in La 
Bella Fireuze. The atmosphere of art reign¬ 
ing in that city of treasures, and, like the sun, 
penetrating with its influence all ranks and 
conditions of society, early awakened in the 
mind of Angelo the wish and determination 
to become a painter. So entirely did this idea 
take possession of his mind that no employ¬ 
ment, nor even amusement, unrelated to the 
darling object of his ambition, had for him 
any interest or attraction. His parents were 
too poor to afford their son the luxury of an 
artistic education, and thrown upon his own 
resources, the means of accomplishing his 
cherished plan were the youth’s thought by 
day and his dream by night. His invention 
was taxed to the utmost in devising ways 
whereby he might earn sufficient to command 
the much-coveted advantages of instruction, 
but, as the impracticability of each new pro¬ 
ject presented itself to his mind, despair suc¬ 
ceeded hope, and had not the artist-spirit 
burned brightly in his bosom, repeated dis¬ 
couragements would have caused him to relin¬ 
quish his one great object and sink down to 
pass his days in disappointment, dreaming 
with melancholy regret of what might have 
been his lot had kinder and more favorable 
gales seconded his patient efforts to gain the 
shore on which his boyhood’s longing eyes 
were fixed. But fortune was waiting to be 
gracious,—she had not yet been approached 
in the right direction. There was in Florence 
an artist of considerable eminence, kind-heart¬ 
ed, generous, like most of his class, for whom 
Angelo had done occasional errands, and to 
whom he now determined to apply for assist¬ 
ance and encouragement. Aware of the great 
probability that in the crowd of applicants 
for so desirable a place as the studio of this 
painter the petition of an obscure, friendless 
boy would be overlooked. Angelo betook 
himself with palpitating heart and anxious 
countenance to the house of him in whom he 
wished, yet dared not hope, to find a friend, 
and chanced to meet him at his door. The 
painter had just returned from his usual 
morning walk, and, fortunately for the youth, 
had been musing on his own early life, curious¬ 
ly contrasting the humble, unpromising be¬ 
ginning of his career with his present honora¬ 
bly and even brilliant position in the world of 
art, dwelling with gratitude on the kind friends 
whose hands had sometimes helped to smooth 
his difficult path, and whose words of cheer 
and commendation had infused new courage 
and enthusiasm into his youthful soul, and 
resolving, as he pursued his way homeward, 
to be, in future, more thoughtful of those who 
with impatient step, just entered on the long 
and weary pilgrimage often stop and turn with 
imploring gaze to the conquerors that have 
reached the shrine, and, in remembrance of his 
own early struggles, to be to such, so far as 
he was able, a judicious and faithful friend. 
It was, therefore, a most propitious moment 
for Angelo’s request that the artist would 
receive him into his studio and give him occa¬ 
sional lessons, in consideration of which he 
should be entitled to Angelo’s services in any 
capacity in which the latter could be of use 
to him and to satisfactory pecuniary compen¬ 
sation when the petitioner should be able to 
render it. Probably it was not wholly owing 
to his late meditations that the painter was 
moved to return a favorable answer to the 
humble applicant; in a less softened mood he 
could hardly have resisted the earnest, plead¬ 
ing face upturned to his. At any rate, after 
some moments conversation, an engagement 
was concluded between them, and, to his great 
joy, Angelo forthwith entered on his studies. 
From the beginning, his success was certain. 
Days, weeks, months and years passed on, and 
found him still established with his old master, 
enjoying his friendship and confidence and a 
reasonable share of his fame. But amid all 
his labors and successes he had not forgotten 
his boyhood’s playmate, the little Luigia, whose 
eyes had so often rested admiringly on his first 
rude attempt to create beauty, and grown 
older had never failed to detect some peculiar 
excellence of outline or coloring that distin¬ 
guished Angelo’s pictures from those of every 
painter in Florence. The fortunes of the 
partial critic and her artist lover were united, 
and the pair removed to Rome. While there 
an incident occurred that determined them to 
leave their native land and seek a home in 
America. Two gentlemen, one English and 
the other American, entered Angelo’s studio 
one morning, arm in arm, and found him en¬ 
gaged copying an old landscape, of great 
beauty and merit. The American, while ex¬ 
amining the work and comparing it with the 
original, was lavish in his expression of admi¬ 
ration ; but the phlegmatic Englishman, 
though eyeing the painting much more nar¬ 
rowly than his companion, said ’ittle except to 
point out some defects, which the American 
endeavored to convince him existed only in his 
own imagination. After considerable discus¬ 
sion, the American, learning that the picture 
was not already engaged, proposed to become 
the owner of it, and and inquired its price. 
Angelo ventured to fname a sum he hon¬ 
estly believed was not beyond the real value 
of the painting, though greater than he ex¬ 
pected to receive for it. To his surprise and 
gratification, no objection was made by the 
American, who, saying that he was about 
leaving for Pisa, promised to return in four 
weeks, at which time the work was to be fin¬ 
ished, and claim his purchase. The two friends 
then left the room, and Angelo resumed his 
labor. At the expiration of the period men¬ 
tioned, as the purchaser of the picture did not 
appear, Angelo, thinking he might have been 
unavoidably detained a few days, set aside 
what he considered the property of his Amer¬ 
ican customer, though it had not been paid 
for, and betook himself to another piece of 
work. Several more weeks elapsed, during 
which nothing was heard of the traveler, and 
Angelo was beginning to think of offering 
the picture for sale, when, one afternoon, the 
Englishman entered the studio, and after some 
conversation, carelessly inquired if his Amer¬ 
ican friend had removed the landscape for 
which he had bargained on the occasion of his 
own previous visit there in his company. 
Angelo replying in the negative, his visitor 
gave an expressive shrug of the shoulders, re¬ 
marking, as he did so, that American enthu¬ 
siasm was too violent to be lasting, and finally 
asked, in an indifferent way, to see the picture. 
The artist readily produced it, and the Eng¬ 
lishman, examining it long and critically, at 
last offered to take it himself, though at a 
much lower price than his friend had agreed 
to pay. Angelo did not hesitate long; he 
was in want of money and was not likely soon 
to find an opportunity of disposing of his 
painting on more advantageous terms ; so the 
bargain was closed, the price paid, and the 
property passed into the possession of its new 
owner. Three days after, the American pre¬ 
sented himself at the rooms of the painter, and 
apologizing for his protracted absence on the 
plea of severe illness, of which he presumed 
Angelo had heard from his English friend, as 
he had written to him on the subject several 
weeks before, and requested him to assure An¬ 
gelo that as soon as he was able to travel he 
should return to Rome and fulfill his contract, 
announced that he had now come to do so.— 
Ilis indignation, on learning the duplicity of 
his supposed friend, was unbounded. The 
latter, an unfavorable specimen of John Bull, 
instead of executing the commission of his 
traveling acquaintance, had deceived the artist, 
and with his ill-gotten prize decamped for 
England. But another copy was ordered, for 
which the American generously insisted on 
paying a muuificent price in advance, and 
which he requested Angelo to forward to him, 
when completed, at Paris. The liberality and 
flattering trust of this patron so won the hearts 
of Angelo and Luigia that, in the romantic 
belief that in him they saw the type of the 
American character, they resolved to quit the 
land of their birth and seek a home in the new 
world. Accordingly, as soon as the necessary 
arrangements for the voyage could be perfect¬ 
ed, with their only child, a little girl, they set 
sail for America. Arrived in safety, they 
sought the city which was now their home, 
and where they had prospered, if not according 
to their expectation, yet tolerably, till, from 
too close application, Angelo’s health began 
to fail, and now, this evening, overtasked na¬ 
ture had given way, and at the suggestion of 
a kind neighbor who volunteered to send his 
son on the errand, the physician was summon¬ 
ed to his bedside. 
At this moment the invalid showed signs of 
waking, and the doctor was about advancing 
to his side for a further examination, when 
suddenly a dull, half-smothered explosion from 
the now cheerless mass on the hearth roused 
the sleeper from his dreamy state, (pardon, 
reader, our benevolent friend had listened to 
scores of similar recitals in his waking hours,) 
and as the clock on the mantle chimed the 
hour of two, Doctor II- cautiously crept 
his way through the darkness to bed. a.

SINGU LAR RO BBERY, 
A facetious friend of ours, whose business 
gives him occasion to test the merits of the 
hotels in this section of the State, informs us 
that he was inadvertently involved in a cu¬ 
rious robbery a few days ago. On leaving 
his room at a certain hotel on the line of one 
of our railroads, at an early hour in the morn¬ 
ing, he hastily seized in the dark what he sup¬ 
posed to be his mittens and neck shawl, and 
thrusting a mitten into each pantaloons pock¬ 
et, and the shawl into his hat, hastened to take 
a seat in the stage. When a few miles on his 
way, he discovered, to his horror, that he had 
put into his pockets the pillows, and into his 
hat the feather-bed, ou which he had endured 
the past night’s lodging. Like an honest man, 
he told the driver to make his acknowledg¬ 
ments to the landlord on his return, and assure 
him he. stood ready to restore the stolen prop¬ 
erty. But as the driver informed him the 
next day that the girl who made the bed “ did 
not miss the trifles he had pocketed,” he deter¬ 
mined to retain them for the protection of oth¬ 
er travelers who might stop at that house.— 
Our friend declines giving the name of the ho¬ 
tel, and he says he didn’t tell the story till 
after “ a southerly ride, some twenty miles, to 
Waterville.”— Mail.

A Sure Cure. —There is»a story, says the 
poet Russell, in a recent lecture, told of one 
of our old Massachusetts’ clergymen, Dr. 
Morse. At an association dinner, a debate 
arose as to the benefit of whipping, in bringing 
up children. The doctor took the affirmative, 
and his chief opponent was a young minister, 
whose reputation for veracity was not very 
high. He affirmed that parents often did 
harm to their children by unjust punishment, 
from not knowing the facts of the case.— 
“ Why,” said he, “ the only time my father 
ever whipped me was for telling the truth.”— 
“ Well,” retorted the doctor, “ it cured you of 
it, didn’t it ?” In wit of this sort there is al¬ 
ways a latent syllogism. 
Wit as is Wit. —At a social party a few 
nights since, no matter where, a lady asked a 
lawyer “ Why coal was like a celebrated law¬ 
book ?” 
“ I have no doubt of its being ‘ Black 
stone,’ ” replied the lawyer. 
“ But,” said the lady, “ we burn Coke also.” 
“ True,” said the lawyer, “ but at most of 
the coal-yards you get a very Little ton !”
